Kobe Bryant Explains Why He Unfollowed Dwight Howard on Twitter

You gotta love Kobe Bryant on Twitter. The micro blogging site allows Kob' the opportunity to just keep it real. On Saturday, Dwight Howard revealed that he decided to sign with the Houston Rockets. Immediately after the news broke, people couldn't help but wonder how Bryant was going to respond.

All in all, Kobe kept it subtle by unfollowing Howard on Twitter and posting a picture of himself with teammate Pau Gasol on Instagram. Still, people jumped on the fact that the Black Mamba unfollowed DH, so Bryant decided to send out a short and sweet tweet explaining why he did what he did.

I wish d12 the best honestly. I just find it hard to follow players that wanna kick my teams ass #thatsjustme

Given Kobe's well-known competitive spirit, this logic should come as no surprise. But will Kobe do the same with Metta World Peace when he finds another team? Hmm.
